I am not a Mormon, I am not even sure if I should have asked the question to Mormons or members of the Church of Latter day Saints. So I hope do not offend.

Recently I got into a knock down drag out argument with a "God fearing Christen" over how terrible Mormons where especially that "Bleeding the Beast" idea they hold dear. I tried to correct them that this practice much like Polygamy is practiced primarily by the Fundamentalist Church of Latter day Saints and is not reflective on the Mormon community as a whole. Still this made me wonder who the general church feels of these practices and splinter groups.

Any answer would be appreciated.

I'm supervising a "land steward" day this morning, and we have a core group of volunteers who come every month and devote 3 hours of their day to help remove invasive plants and other tasks. Others drop in occasionally, mostly to do community service.

How do you fit into the picture? Do you know of places in your neck of the woods where you can -- or do -- volunteer?

Ex is from the UK. He has denied being the bio father of our child whom he has never seen in person, nor been involved with.

Had made threats, so his name is not on birth certif., refused to do DNA, knows he has a child support order in our divorce papers, and said he threw it in the trash. Has been on a vendetta against me, never once wanting to see our child....just bent on harassing me, saying Im keeping him from entering the country!( His name is flagged but he can visit )

If he has denied he is the father, refusing to do DNA...how can I terminate his rights with his being the 'legal' father as we were married still when I gave birth? DO I have to put his name on the birth certif. NOW and then try ..or only unless a DNA test is done...and time passes again with his non involvement?

Or should I just leave it be? He only has a physical address for us cause of his past threats w/his girlfriend..and he has never petitioned the courts in 2 yrs for his visitation rights.

I really am, but I wish to hear more from you. Here is the question.
What was the spark that ignited the idea of converting to Islam. Or was it a long term thinking.
P.S. I had my own spark to start practice Islam when I was 10 yrs old with a simple question to my father "Why can't I hear the Azan", he replied "because you don't pray" and that was it.

From Wikipedia:
"A parachute candidate, also known as a “carpetbagger” in the United States, is a pejorative term for an election candidate who does not live in and has little connection to the area he or she is running to represent. The allegation is thus that the candidate is being “parachuted in” for the job by a desperate political party that has no reliable talent indigenous to the district or state or that the party (or the candidate himself/herself) wishes to give a candidate an easier election than would happen in one's own home area. For example, in a 2000 race for U.S. Senator in New York, Democrat Hillary Clinton was accused of carpetbagging New York. Similarly, in the 2004 Illinois Senate race, Alan Keyes of Maryland ran on the Republican ticket with similar accusations."

Why do we suppose Hillary moved to NYS, and then ran for Senator? Could this all have been planned as a stepping stone to running for President?

I know dell has come out with a new line of laptop computers that are in different colors. Does anyone know of someone who sells orange notebook computers, it seems to be the one color that dell doesn't have.

This thought came into my head... if we had to have a picture of ourselves for an avatar and others could identify us would people be as willing to speak their minds in this section? Or, do you speak anonymously and would never want someone you know to be able to identify you and your beliefs here in R&S?
